The IFT webinar replay: ‘Outlook for Automotive Retail during and after COVID-19’ is now available.

The Chairman of ASE Global, Mike Jones, discussed the impact of Covid-19 on the UK Automotive industry and what this means for businesses as we work towards coming out of lockdown. Mike will also cover some other aspects that are likely to effect the automotive industry over the course of the next year.
